Hans,
Thanks for the information. I'll give gswin32c.exe a look.

>Of course you can use pdf995 for free, but it will display a sponsor page in your web browser each time you run the software. So you should buy a licence per workstation costing US-$ 9,95 (which is, where the name comes from). I think a decent charge.

>I use it with applications, which include automated Word as a formating and output generating device. The output needs to be secured against manipulation via password, which can also easily be incorporated by using another tools from these guys costing - well you guested it.

>One more hint: It is advisable to install pdf995 separately because after installation it will be available as a separate printer, able to generate pdf-file for all printing applications on that particular machine. Maybe you can use this an as additional selling argument for the user / buyer.

>>Hi all,
>>I need to print pages of a Word doc as individual PDFs as part of a VFP app. I'm looking at PDFCreator since it's free. Two questions:
>>
>>1. Can Word/PDFCreator do this? I create the Word doc using Word as COM server and would like to use PDFCreator as a COM server as well. BUT...
>>
>>2. I can use it as printer and generate PDFs, but I can't instantiate PDFCreator as a COM object because I can't register it. I've tried to download the newest version, .0.9.2, in case there are some beter hints, but none of the mirrors work yet.
>>
>>Thanks for any advice,
>>Gary
